I tend to try that too. For the most part in wars that don't directly affect me (I.E. All of them), my general opinion is that both sides are idiots for being unable to even try to listen to eachother. I just feel sorry for the general population that gets abused in the process -- and, in this case, the almost 300 civilian deaths that didn't even had anything to do with the conflict in the first place. The thing is, I can't help but think of what could happen next in situations like these. A random conflict in the Middle East? Meh, what's new; those tend to stay relatively local anyway. Russia and Europe/USA in what's essentially a new Cold War? That can only end badly.[/quote]

Cold War I, Cold War II... I don't like the sound of those. :<
